Vietnam and China have issued a joint statement of 11 points on the occasion of Chinese President Xi Jinping’s visit to Vietnam. Both agreed to uphold bilateral friendship, strategic exchanges, political trust building and co-operation in the interest of both countries.
They agreed to seek long term solution to maritime issues, using bilateral government negotiations on borders and territories while maintaining peaceful negotiations without affecting each other’s views on the adoption of an early Code of Conduct for Parties in the East Sea while enforcing the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the East Sea. Vietnam is persistent to supporting the one China policy and opposing independent Taiwan movements in any form.
